Moradabad: A 10th standard student of a private school was booked for allegedly sending his teacher ‘obscene messages’ during an online session here.
Police have also booked the student’s father for allegedly ‘threatening the teacher’ over the phone. The police took the action on Saturday.
The 30-year-old Social Sciences teacher of the CBSE school in Moradabad, in her police complaint, alleged that a couple of inappropriate messages were sent to her while she was conducting an online session via Google Meet. Several other students too read the messages, the teacher said.
“I approached the student’s family. However, his father, instead of scolding his child, refused to listen. He even misbehaved and threatened me,” she said in her complaint, as per news agency IANS.
An FIR was later lodged against the father-son duo. According to circle officer Kuldeep Singh, a case has been registered against the two and a report has been sent to the cyber cell for a detailed probe.
“An FIR has been registered against the student under IPC sections 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 67A (punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act, etc.) while his father has been booked under section 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the IPC,” Civil Lines SHO, Nawal Marwah, told reporters.
